Abstract:
The present invention provides modified zirconia fine particles which are stable in an acidic region as well as in an alkaline region, and which may be readily adjusted in refractive index in a predetermined range. The present invention further provides a substrate with a hard coat film excellent in adhesiveness with the substrate, abrasion resistance, scratch strength, pencil hardness and the like without interference fringes and a coating solution which may form the hard coat film.The substrate with a hard coat film is composed of composite oxide particles formed on at least one surface of the substrate and a matrix component, wherein the composite oxide particles are composite oxide particles having a core-shell structure composed of a core formed from zirconium oxide and a shell formed from antimony pentoxide and/or silica.

Disclosed is a composite material including from about 50 wt % to about 75 wt % (based on the total weight of the composite material) of inorganic material, wherein the inorganic material includes from about 30 wt % to about 50 wt % (based on weight of the inorganic material) of a first inorganic filler having an average particle size ranging from about 0.5 mm to about 5 mm; and from about 50 wt % to about 70 wt % (based on weight of the inorganic filler) of a second inorganic filler having an average particle size ranging from 0.02 mm to about 0.1 mm; and from about 25 wt % to about 50 wt % (based on total weight of the composite material) of a thermosetting polymeric resin.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an oxygen-absorbing resin composition, which is superior in oxygen absorbability, absorbs oxygen remaining in the container after sealing, keeps the contents in the container in good preservation, and improves moldability, dispersibility of the oxygen absorbent, stability of the oxygen absorbing performance, performance of preventing peeling and separation of the oxygen absorbent from the base resin, rigidity of the sealing part, and the like, which become problems in the case of including an oxygen absorbent having high oxygen absorbability and low compatibility with the base resin, as well as provides an oxygen-absorbing container cap and an oxygen-absorbing container plug using the same.The present invention provides an oxygen-absorbing resin composition characterized by being obtained by dispersing and blending an oxygen absorbent containing 20% or more of particles having a particle diameter of 1000 μm or less at a ratio of 20% or less to a base resin.

Methods and apparatus for making ultrafine solid particles are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to mineral-filled polyester compounds and films which are produced by melt blowing polyester resins containing 10 to 50 wt % fillers. The fillers are selected from two different groups: the first consisting of block type fillers including inorganic carbonates, synthetic carbonates, feldspar, nepheline syenite, magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, aluminum trihydrate, and diatomaceous earth; the second consisting of platy fillers including talc, mica, or calcined clays, all having a particle size less than 150 mesh. These fillers may be employed in mixtures to yield films and molded articles characterized by improved stiffness, handling, and end-use characteristics, increased rates of environmental degradation in biological and photochemical processes, and reduced cost.
Abstract:
Thermal interface compositions contain filler particles possessing a maximum particle size less than 25 microns in diameter blended with a polymer matrix. Such compositions enable lower attainable bond line thickness, which decreases in-situ thermal resistances that exist between thermal interface materials and the corresponding mating surfaces.
